Of course, this doesn’t include the insides of living beings. If he could freely enter a living being’s body too, that would be too exaggerated.
He could effortlessly burn his enemies to death from within, using a great amount of Dan Fire within the Dantian. Unfortunately, he was not yet capable of this.
Suddenly, the temperature around them began to rise rapidly, giving a sensation as if everything was about to be burnt to ashes.
Lin Yi also felt a rising agitation within himself, an urge to charge forward and kill the Master of Bi Hai on the spot.
The Master of Bi Hai noticed the change in their environment; his face went pale, and he tried to shake off the Dan Fire burning on his hand. However, the Dan Fire seemed to be solidly stuck on his palm.
He quickly activated his Water Element Power to try and extinguish the flame. A significant amount of water power formed a stream, pouring onto the flame in his palm and raising clouds of steam.
However, much to his dismay, as soon as he managed to extinguish one flame, another instantly appeared in its place.
At that moment, a red lotus suddenly formed in the surrounding area, blooming slowly. The surrounding mist evaporated in an instant.
The Master of Bi Hai’s face turned deathly pale. He pointed at Lin Yi, his eyes blazing with fury, and roared, “Lin Yi, very cunning of you… I won’t let this go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light, trying to flee to the edge of the Red Lotus Fire Field. If he could leave the territory of the Red Lotus fire, it would no longer be able to teleport freely, and he would have a chance to survive.
However, just as he began to escape, five bolts of lightning suddenly appeared above his head, striking him directly from above.
Despite his best efforts to deploy all of his defensive measures, they were unable to withstand the assault of these five bolts of lightning. The lightning penetrated his layers of shielding and struck him mercilessly.
The Master of Bi Hai, shocked and terrified, desperately moved to the side. However, the lightning still hit his shoulder, instantly turning half of his body into charred flesh.
If it hadn’t been for his strong water elemental regenerative ability, he might have died right there.
“A Nascent Soul… early-stage power… you… you can’t possibly be Lin Yi…” Upon feeling the might of the five lightning bolts, the Master of Bi Hai trembled with fear.
In his heart, he had thought that Lin Yi just reaching the late period of the Foundation Building Seventh Layer was already a stretch, and there was no way he would be able to reach the Golden Core Realm.
But the man standing before him now, with the seeming power of the fifth layer of foundational building, had released a lightning technique that possessed the might of a nascent soul’s initial stage.
He couldn’t possibly be Lin Yi. Even a Supreme-grade Spirit Root, let alone countless resources, couldn’t reach the Nascent Soul from the Qi Refining Stage within just forty years.
Even if Lin Yi had reincarnated from some sort of old monster from the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t have advanced this quickly.
“Uncle Master Bi Hai, I, your disciple Lin Yi, bid you farewell.” Lin Yi said calmly. This was just his normal strength at the Initial Stage of the Golden Core, and he hadn’t used the additional advantages of his station.
The previous frenzied state had temporarily stopped after he was free from the water stream’s restraint, and he didn’t change the stakeholder title either.
At this stage, missing half of his body and despite the Master of Bi Hai’s strong water regenerative ability, he wouldn’t be able to restore his body in a short period.
What was more important was that water is an excellent conductor of electricity. His whole body was full of the Water Element Power, and the lightning strike had also passed into his body.
Now he could no longer use even a fraction of his true energy, and his whole body was numb. Apart from his lips being able to move slightly, he couldn’t even move his fingers.
The hand covered in red flames along with his half-body had turned into ash. However, in front of his eyes, another wisp of red flame appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
“Lin Yi, I swear you will pay…you sly bastard…” The Master of Bi Hai cursed furiously. He hadn’t expected that he would be outsmarted in this way, after laying low for one to two hundred years inside the Liu Yun Sect and painstakingly setting up this trap.
The red lotus now fully bloomed, radiating waves of intense heat. It was as if the whole sky was ablaze, just as he had seen in the Predict Crisis image. It was incredibly beautiful, yet it held a wicked allure.
Subsequently, the blooming red lotus shot towards Master Bi Hai. Its petals looked like a wide, gaping mouth.
“Lin Yi, I have countless treasures in my storage ring; don’t you want them? If you spare my life, I can serve you as a slave. I will form a contract and will never betray you.” Seeing this, Master Bi Hai hastily pleaded.
However, Lin Yi turned to run without the slightest intention of acquiring the storage ring. Even has he predicted the crisis, he didn’t dare to hang around even though he didn’t sense any immediate danger to his life.
Such opportunities were less important than his life.
Moreover, since Master Bi Hai’s task was to find and exterminate the sprouting ‘Creation Method’, there must be a huge organization behind him, possibly even linked to the Immortal Realm.
There had to be some tricks up one’s sleeve in Master Bi Hai’s storage ring, and he would not fall into danger again because of his temporary greed.
“Lin Yi, you too will join me soon. They will never let you go. They will find you…” Seeing Lin Yi running away without hesitation, Master Bi Hai sounded a despairing final threat before he was swallowed up by the Red Lotus fire. The lotus then abruptly shrunk.
After swallowing Master Bi Hai, the Red Lotus fire glanced at Lin Yi’s retreating figure. The lotus that had shrunk opened once again and then disappeared on the spot.
Feeling the loss of the fire behind him, Lin Yi ran even faster. Suddenly, he sensed the breath of Dan fire appear not far ahead, and he turned to run again without any hesitation.
Having swallowed a thread of Dan fire, the Red Lotus fire could now sense where the Red Lotus fire would teleport to.
This way, Lin Yi hastened using his awareness of the Dan fire. He also quickly circulated the water element inside his Golden Core to keep his mind clear from being affected by the Red Lotus fire.
During this time, he also activated the title that increased his speed and triggered the ‘Little Luck’ state, making the burst and instant teleportation effects of the title more probable.
With each escape Lin Yi made, the Red Lotus fire seemed to become more incensed. The lotus became a more vivid and alluring red. Its teleportation speed increased and even split into a few smaller lotus flowers that teleported separately, trying to entrap him.
There were also the derived flames of the Red Lotus fire surrounding him. The scene was similar to judgment day.
Whenever the Red Lotus fire was about to catch up, Lin Yi released a whiff of Dan fire to be consumed, delaying its speed.
He didn’t dare to conserve, using all his abilities at his disposal.
So this way, after swallowing dozens of strands of Dan fire, he didn’t have too many left. After all, he had just refined the Golden Core, and a large part of it had been consumed during the refining process.
As the Red Lotus fire swallowed much Dan fire, he could also control the Dan fire to attack the Lotus fire, slowing it down even further.
Finally, Lin Yi escaped to the outskirts of the Red Lotus Fire Field. However, the Red Lotus fire remained within the field, creating a sea of fire around it. The crimson lotus flickered, as though threatening him.
He once again released a thread of Dan fire, which was eagerly swallowed by the Red Lotus fire. Its blooming lotus might have appeared to have formed a mouth, letting out a roar towards him.
Even the gusts caused by the scream couldn’t penetrate the fire field, showing that the Red Lotus Fire was not capable of exerting its power outside of the fire field. This was also a form of restriction.
Lin Yi, however, did not stay there any longer and did not banter. The Red Lotus fire was sentient and might understand his words and then stop assimilating the Dan fire it had ingested.
Without stopping, he made his way towards the outskirts of the Red Lotus Fire State. Though it was devoid of Red Lotus fire here, it still belonged to the depths of the Fire State and was influenced by the mysterious energy. Hence, the teleportation channel of the Dan God’s Secret Realm couldn’t appear.
Not waiting, he stopped the ‘Little Luck’ state and used just the title that increased his speed and ran to the outskirts of the Red Lotus Fire State.
After sensing no breaths of cultivators around him, Lin Yi cast a teleportation mantra. A streak of Rosy Clouds rapidly appeared, forming a teleportation passage, he didn’t hesitate at all and entered.
The Rosy Clouds passage instantly vanished. However, tranquillity didn’t return. Inside the Red Lotus fire field, the lotus continued venting its anger and seemed determined to turn the entire field into a real hell.
